Reports have revealed that Argentine national team midfielder Enzo Fernandez is leaving Chelsea to join Manchester City in a blockbuster deal.
Enzo Fernandez's story is nearing its conclusion after the two parties reached an agreement, with the midfielder set to join Manchester City in a massive transfer during the ongoing summer transfer window.
The Argentine midfielder was absent from manager Xabi Alonso's lineup in the Luton Town match in the second round of the Carabao Cup, and his sale is expected to be finalized soon.

According to Argentine network TyC Sports, the 25-year-old will once again be part of a blockbuster transfer, with City set to pay approximately 140 million euros and sign him to a contract until 2032, with an option for an additional season.
The Argentine midfielder's relationship with Chelsea fans became significantly strained in the summer of 2026, as he faced criticism for a statement in which he said he "really loves Madrid" (which was interpreted in London as a hint at Real Madrid).
During the 2026 World Cup, the Argentine midfielder also faced criticism for his provocative celebration after his brilliant goal against the England national team.
Just weeks ago, amid Manchester City's interest in him, fans booed him during the Blues' friendly against Real Sociedad, and provoked him by raising the flag of the Falkland Islands, which the British Crown granted to the islands following their illegal occupation.
In this context, Chelsea will finally see him leave after three and a half years with the Blues, during which he became team captain and won two titles: the 2025 European Conference League and the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup.
Enzo Fernandez is set to be one of Manchester City's most prominent signings in the current transfer window, in an attempt to compensate for the departure of team star Rodri Hernandez, who joined Spanish side Barcelona.
Fernandez is expected to be involved in another massive deal, having generated 279 million euros in revenue through three transfers in his short career, via River Plate, Benfica, Chelsea, and now Manchester City.
